Chinanews.com, Guangzhou, June 9th, title: Guangzhou Science and Technology Empowers Anti-epidemic: "Bright Code" 100 million times a day, and "Unmanned" series

  On the 9th, Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport set up a nucleic acid test sampling point and a mobile laboratory, and the result report was issued within 4 hours, which is convenient for travelers.

As of 12:00, there have been more than 300 samples taken, and the fastest passenger took only 2 hours and 40 minutes to get the test results.

  Air film laboratories such as "Huoyan" and "Falcon" continuously test nucleic acid samples from high- and medium-risk areas for epidemic prevention and control 24 hours a day.

  More than 50,000 college entrance examination candidates in Guangzhou have their own health codes, which are marked to identify candidates from different risk areas, and students enter the examination room with their "codes"...

  The Guangdong Provincial Health Commission announced the epidemic situation in the province on the 9th. From 0:00 to 24:00 on June 8th, there were 7 newly confirmed local cases in Guangdong, all of which were reported in Guangzhou; and 1 local asymptomatic infection was transferred to a confirmed case , Report for Guangzhou.

As of 24:00 on the 8th, a total of 115 cases of infection have been reported in this round of the epidemic in Guangzhou.

  Technology is the key to defeating the epidemic.

The current Guangzhou epidemic prevention and control is at a critical stage. It is necessary to advance nucleic acid testing at a faster speed, accelerate the development of symptomatic treatment drugs, promote technological research and application of artificial intelligence-assisted diagnosis, and explore more scenarios for health codes in catering, transportation, etc. The use of.

Bright "Code" Travel: Identifying, Preventing and Controlling Risk

  "Is your code green or yellow?" This is one of the most frequently spoken words of Guangzhou citizens in recent greetings.

During the epidemic, the health code of people who have had potential contact with risk locations or infected persons will automatically change to yellow or red, and then the staff will notify them to perform nucleic acid testing to identify risks.

  Affected by this round of the epidemic, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Foshan and other places have launched epidemic prevention and control plans, organized large-scale nucleic acid testing, and must have effective prevention and control measures in public places.

  100 million times, this is the number of times that Yuekang Code "bright codes" each day.

Li Hengbai, chairman of Digital Guangdong, said that the company will improve the operation and maintenance capabilities of major epidemic prevention and control systems to ensure the stable operation of core epidemic prevention and control applications such as Yuekang code, vaccination, nucleic acid testing, and health and epidemic prevention verification platform.

Nucleic acid testing: "race" against viruses

  Fighting against the new crown pneumonia epidemic is a technological battle that "races" against the virus.

Increasing the efforts of nucleic acid testing and screening, and cutting off the chain of infection as soon as possible, this is the current priority of Guangzhou's anti-epidemic.

Since the initiation of the nucleic acid investigation on May 26, as of 24:00 on June 7, Guangzhou had a total of 27,985,500 nucleic acid samples, and a total of 40 people were found to be positive.

  In recent years, Guangzhou has created a global gathering place for clinical trials of new drugs and a new height for the global biomedical industry.

Numerous high-tech companies have formed a nucleic acid testing "legion" to improve the nucleic acid testing capabilities of Guangzhou and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

  On the 9th, two teams of "Mobile Shelter Laboratory" convoys of Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University drove to Wuchuan, Zhanjiang to support local nucleic acid testing. The report could be issued within 2.5 hours after the samples entered the vehicle.

  In Panyu, Guangzhou, the "Huoyan" laboratory is equipped with a high-throughput automated virus nucleic acid extractor and other equipment. As of 12 o'clock on the 8th, 20 air film bins and 2 testing vehicles have reached a daily throughput of 210,000 per tube.

  In the Guangzhou Gymnasium, 4 "Falcon" air film laboratories are fully put into use, and "human-machine cooperation" is continuously conducting testing, with a daily nucleic acid testing capacity of 120,000 tubes.

In addition, it also includes the "Falcon" mobile laboratory series, which are used for epidemic prevention and control in various scenes such as rural grassroots and railway stations.

  "Guangzhou has grown up in the fight against the epidemic, and has also accumulated experience in it." Yang Zifeng, assistant to the dean of the Guangzhou Institute of Respiratory Health, said that a variety of innovative methods have been used to jointly form a more three-dimensional screening and testing base.

Unmanned series: reduce the risk of infection

  Under the epidemic situation, "unmanned" operations have become a development trend.

  On the deck of the Hedong Bridge, boxes containing milk powder, ventilators and other daily life and epidemic prevention supplies are driven to the Liwan containment control area through unmanned and autonomous vehicles.

  On the Pearl River, drones carrying medicines and materials flew across the Pearl River to the Liwan containment control area.

  In the isolated community in Liwan District, the anti-epidemic delivery robot provides the "last 100 meters" delivery service for residents in quarantine at home.

  The relevant person in charge of Guangzhou Autonomous Travel Company, Jinyan, said that none of the unmanned vehicles are equipped with any personnel, which can realize fully unmanned driving and continuous multiple transportation in the enclosed and controlled area to avoid the risk of cross-infection of staff.

  In addition, in order to reduce the risk of spread of the epidemic caused by the movement of people, Guangdong has brought together the entrances of the province's Internet hospitals to provide the people with follow-up consultations for common and chronic diseases.

  From the use of health codes, to nucleic acid screening of the new coronavirus, to the investment of unmanned equipment, new technologies such as big data and artificial intelligence are taking turns on the scene. Guangzhou Anti-epidemic will introduce more scientific and technological elements to reduce the impact of the epidemic. (Finish)
